Chapter 182 High School If Line: Ready to Become Your Classmate
In the hospital.
Xu Jialan took all the data and completed the formalities by himself.
Looking at her thin body, many nurses felt distressed when they saw this scene.
"This child is really having a hard time."
"Are there no adults in her family?"
The nurse shook her head. "Her mother has been in this hospital for such a long time, and I haven't seen any relatives come to visit her. It's always just this child and her father."
Another nurse sighed, "Now that even her father is gone, this child has truly become an orphan."
The others sighed as well.
Xu Jialan walked out of the hospital.
The sun is very big.
It was so bright that I could hardly open my eyes.
She raised her head slightly, and her fair face looked even paler in the sunlight.
But apart from being pale, she didn't shed a single tear.
At this time, someone came over from a distance.
Xu Jialan looked over.
She bowed her head slightly and spoke respectfully, "Grandpa Liang."
Elder Liang sighed silently, raised his hand and touched her head, "Lanlan, do you want to study medicine?"
Hearing this, Xu Jialan looked up at him and asked, "Can I?"
Liang Lao smiled and said, "Of course, do you want to learn?"
"think."
Xu Jialan nodded truthfully.
She wanted to learn it ever since she learned her mother had cancer.
I'm eager to learn.
But it's too late.
She hasn't had time to grow up yet.
The mother left.
Liang Lao rubbed her head and asked, "Will you be my apprentice?"
His tone was gentle, and he was asking for her opinion seriously.
Xu Jialan hesitated for a moment, "But, I don't have any money."
The family, which was originally well-off, almost spent all their money because of Xu's mother's illness.
The money left by Xu's father was only enough for her to live until she graduated from high school.
Elder Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "It's okay. You don't have to pay to be my apprentice. But you have to promise me that on this road, you must keep your original intention and not be blinded by other things and forget the way you came."
"As long as you can do this, I will teach you everything I know and learn. How about that?"
Xu Jialan pursed his lips and asked, "Can I learn how to research medicine?"
"Oh?" Elder Liang raised his eyebrows. "Why do you only want to study medicine?"
"If there were a drug that could cure cancer, my mother...would not have left me."
Xu Jialan's voice is very light and low.
Elder Liang sighed, "Lanlan, do you know how difficult it is to develop a drug to cure cancer?"
Xu Jialan looked at him without saying anything.
She doesn't know.
“Some people never reach this threshold even in their entire lives, while others exhaust everything they have, only to fail again and again in their hopes.”
Mr. Liang looked at the slender girl and said, "This road is very difficult to walk."
"I'm not afraid."
Xu Jialan's dark eyes held a hint of stubbornness and tenacity. "No matter how difficult the road is, I will keep going. Even if I fail, let the next generation carry on the torch. There will always be a day when we will succeed."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liang laughed out loud, "Good, not bad, very good."
"Then Master will teach you how to grind medicine."
Xu Jialan's beautiful eyes flashed with light, "Thank you, Master."
…
A few days later.
Old Liang took the initiative to help Xu Jialan deal with his father's funeral.
Xu Jialan did not refuse.
She also wanted to reassure Mr. Xu.
Even if she is alone, she will live well.
Even so, Xu Jialan had visibly lost a lot of weight.
It really looked like a gust of wind could blow her away.
Mrs. Liang prepared a lot of nourishing soup for her out of pity.
"Good boy, Lanlan, drink this bowl of soup."
Xu Jialan looked at the nourishing soup in front of him, his eyes and eyebrows containing a hint of coolness and gentleness.
"Thank you, Master's Wife."
She picked up the bowl of soup obediently and drank it in small sips.
Mrs. Liang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw she had finished drinking, "Drink another bowl when you have dinner tonight."
"I've lost so much weight in just a few days. School is about to start, and I can't keep losing weight like this. When the workload gets heavy, my body won't be able to handle it."
Mrs. Liang's eyes were full of heartache.
Xu Jialan smiled lightly, "I understand, Master's wife. I will definitely try to eat more."
"Don't worry, with Master's wife here, you will definitely become plump and white."
Mrs. Liang looked at the girl with a smile.
Ever since she had a miscarriage when she was young and her body was damaged, she has never been able to get pregnant again.
Old Liang accepted several apprentices, which also fulfilled her regret of not having children.
After seeing Xu Jialan, she fulfilled her wish of having a daughter.
Xu Jialan's lips curled up slightly.
…
School is about to start.
Elder Liang looked at Xu Jialan and said, "Why don't you just stay at Master's place? Master's home is your home. We can feel more at ease if you stay here."
"Yes, Lanlan, can't you just live here peacefully?" Mrs. Liang also persuaded.
Xu Jialan packed his simple luggage and smiled lightly, "My previous home is close to school, so it's more convenient for me to go to school. Besides, it's not like I won't be back. I will still be back here on Friday."
Mrs. Liang was still worried, "But you're alone..."
"Don't worry, Master's wife, I can take good care of myself."
Xu Jialan walked to Mrs. Liang's side and said, "How about this? When I come back on Friday, you can check my weight again. If it's lighter, I won't go back there. But if it's heavier, then I can come back every Friday. Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang and Mr. Liang looked at each other.
The two of them compromised reluctantly.
Mrs. Liang instructed, "Then you must take good care of yourself. If you are short of money, tell your family, okay? Don't let yourself be wronged."
From the day she decided to adopt Xu Jialan, she had treated Xu Jialan as her own daughter.
Xu Jialan couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I understand."
After giving some instructions, the two of them personally sent Xu Jialan back to her home.
The apartment has been uninhabited for nearly half a month, and there is a lot of dust in it.
After Xu Jialan cleaned up.
She then walked to the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke and opened it.
The sound of bubbles immediately rang out.
The can was steaming.
Xu Jialan took a small sip, and the bubbles entered her mouth and slid down her throat.
The familiar smell made her curl the corners of her lips.
Her phone, which was placed on the coffee table, vibrated.
Xu Jialan walked over and picked up the phone.
"Little classmate, school is about to start, are you ready?"
Since their last separation, they haven't had the chance to meet again, but they chat on WeChat from time to time.
The relationship between the two gradually became familiar.
Xu Jialan's eyes lit up with a faint smile as he typed, "Ready."
Ready to be your classmate...
